Tray Switching and Mixed Media Test Results
Press Productivity Modes
The Xerox New 80 Press allows the user to select from 2 Productivity Modes that impact the print speed of mixed media jobs.
Descriptions of these modes and test results are cited below. Note – test results refer to Versant 80 speeds without the
Performance Package. Performance Package test results will be released in a future edition of this document.
Optimized for Speed: (Default mode) This mode uses the maximum temperature for the heaviest stock within the job and won’t
stop to adjust the fuser temperature.
Optimized for Quality: This mode adjusts the fuser temperature for each stock weight range and the system productivity will
slow down to allow the press to adjust the fuser temperature when necessary.
The following table provides test results on several job types that utilize mixed media and that require paper tray switching.
These jobs were tested by Xerox to provide representative productivity. Results for similar jobs may vary depending on the Print
Server, specific media, paper trays, and print mode that are used.

Integrated Scanner Productivity Charts
The Integrated scanner performs color or black and white scanning at 200 x 200, 300 x 300, 400 x400, or 600x 600 dpi
resolutions. Expected scanning speeds by document size are shown in the table. Note that the scanner can image both sides of
an original simultaneously. Each side of an original is referred to as an “impression”, and therefore scan speeds are shown in
“Impression Per Minute” (IPM).
